Belfast City Council has completed its purchase of the historic Assembly Rooms building and adjacent properties in the Cathedral Quarter.
Vacant since 2000, Assembly Rooms is a grade B1 listed heritage building that dates to 1769.
The council has not confirmed the cost, but it was thought the bid in September was in the region of £2.7m.
The historic building dates back to 1769 but had fallen into disuse in the last two decades.
